Who we are

We are Salt Lake City’s only lesbian bar, and we’re Black Owned. More than a bar, we are a gathering place for queer joy, chosen family and community.

Born from the need for something that didn’t exist, The Violet Hour SLC was built to hold us. Our space is artfully designed for connection, nightlife and community. Featuring live music, DJ’s, burlesque, cocktails, comfort food, and culture all under one roof.

We honor the legacy of queer bars as spaces of resistance, creativity and survival.

This is our hour. This is your hour.

The Violet Hour SLC - est. when you needed it.
